Help. Here is the situation.
My 92' RS camaro will not start, no cranking either. I have recently (within 30 days of each other) replaced the Alternator, Starter Motor, Ignition Coil, Distributor, and Fuel Pump. The battery tested 'good' at Auto Zone, it is also recently charged completley.
When I try to start the car nothing happens, no radio, no lights, no nothing. Is there any suggestions of things that I can check to see what might be the problem. (all parts replaced are brand new, no refurb/used)

Please help.
Jon

Welcome to the Club! Lots of good info & people here.

Somewhere on the positive cable, or power distribution, are fusible links, maybe the starter solenoid terminal, and/or in the engine compartment is an overall fuse, ie, 80 or 100 amp fuse. I'm thinking more of a fusible link may be bad.

If you have VATS, resistor chip in the key, the key reading socket in the ignition tumbler on the column may not be reading the chip to satisfy VATS. But you stated you have no lights.

Lights should happen even without the chip, VATS, or anything else I would think. Make sure there is a path from battery positive to starter, fusible links good, and a good ground connection from the engine to the battery. Hopefully, the battery cables are in good shape.

You might go to Advance Auto or someplace and get a Haynes manual for the car and read up. There not the best, but, it will beat running around in circles.
